Aldemir Eliminated by Reixach

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Koray Aldemir
Koray Aldemir

Sergi Reixach raised from the button and Koray Aldemir stuck his last few chips in out of the big blind with half of the stack already invested as the big blind ante.

Koray Aldemir: {j-Diamonds}{9-Clubs}
Sergi Reixach: {k-Clubs}{9-Hearts}

The {10-Diamonds}{7-Diamonds}{4-Clubs} flop was a tease for Aldemir but he bricked the {5-Spades} turn and {7-Clubs} river to hit the rail.

Guilbert Doubles Through Nishiyama

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

The tides over on table one had changed recently with Motoyoshi Okamura and Hiroshi Nishiyama both surging to the top of the counts. It was then Nishiyama who three-bet out of the blinds and then called the all-in by Johan Guilbert for 111,000.

Johan Guilbert: {a-Diamonds}{q-Diamonds}
Hiroshi Nishiyama: {k-Clubs}{q-Spades}

The {a-Clubs}{8-Diamonds}{2-Spades}{3-Clubs}{k-Hearts} board kept the superior hand ahead all the way for Guilbert to double.

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante
Pedro Garagnani
Pedro Garagnani

A larger three-way pot had already emerged as Pedro Garagnani was all-in out of the big blind and awaiting his fate. The {6-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds}{2-Clubs}{k-Clubs}{8-Diamonds} river was checked by Sergi Reixach from under the gun and Steve O'Dwyer then pushed all-in.

Reixach folded and O'Dwyer revealed the {q-Diamonds}{j-Diamonds} for a flush. Without showing any emotions at all, Garagnani exposed his {5-Hearts}{4-Hearts} for a flopped straight and headed out of the tournament area.

Derwiche Leaves Aldemir on Fumes

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

Koray Aldemir raised it up in the cutoff and then called the three-bet shove by Imad Derwiche in the big blind for the last 137,000.

Imad Derwiche: {k-Hearts}{3-Hearts}
Koray Aldemir: {q-Diamonds}{q-Clubs}

Derwiche immediately sighed and did so again several times on the {7-Diamonds}{6-Spades}{3-Spades} flop and {7-Hearts} turn. However, he got there with the {k-Spades} river and instantly said "sorry man" to which Aldemir replied "it's okay".

Kolev Chips Up Against Greenwood

Level 14 : 5,000/10,000, 10,000 ante

In a battle of the blinds, Sam Greenwood bet the {j-Clubs}{j-Spades}{4-Hearts}{2-Spades}{7-Clubs} river for 40,000. Boris Kolev mulled over it for a short while and opted to call as he was shown the {10-Diamonds}{3-Diamonds} by Greenwood. The {k-Spades}{8-Hearts} of Kolev had missed the board as well but were good enough to win the pot.

Rodrigo Selouan: {a-Spades}{q-Clubs}

The pocket pair remained ahead throughout the {k-Diamonds}{4-Clubs}{4-Hearts}{k-Clubs}{2-Clubs} board as Selouan had to fork over 145,000 to Nakamura.

Greenwood and O'Dwyer Chipping Down

Level 13 : 4,000/8,000, 8,000 ante

Jean-Noel Thorel checked his option from under the gun on the {a-Diamonds}{8-Clubs}{5-Diamonds}{10-Spades} turn and Steve O'Dwyer then bet 20,000. The check-raise to 60,000 by Thorel followed and O'Dwyer quickly folded.

At the same time, Belarmino De Souza had checked out of the blinds on a completed board of {j-Hearts}{7-Spades}{2-Hearts}{7-Clubs}{5-Hearts}. Sam Greenwood bet 135,000 and De Souza used two time bank extensions before making the call.

Greenwood rolled over the {q-Diamonds}{10-Hearts} for a bluff and De Souza raked in the pot with the {q-Hearts}{j-Clubs}.

In the meanwhile, Ognyan Dimov was spotted on his way out as the field was reduced to the final 29 players.
